Back in action with Edie's outfit

Since [info]homemadebird was able to supply me with a duplicate of Edie's outfit, I should be able to finish chapter 26 pretty soon. Edie is still missing makeup, but I might just have her go without, or give her something a little different. That's a pretty minor detail. Thank you for helping me out, homemadebird! I actually like your version of this recolour better than the one I used to have, since the jeans are less distressed. I'm quite pleased with it.





Edie: This new haircut has really done something to your brain.

Frances: Dance, dance, DANCE! I love to dance.

Edie: Yeah... you've lost it.



Edie's apartment is missing some of its cool wallpaper (I've looked, and can't find that same pattern), and I just noticed the blue vinyl blinds (eww) in the background where the wooden ones used to be. I'll have to redownload those, if I can figure out where they came from. Losing all of your cc is a huge pain in the ass, let me tell you. Everyone should back up their downloads folder. Believe me... you'll thank yourself later.

i'm usually the 25th person to post, but not today...lol Anyway, Edie's outfit is very, very nice. I really like the H&M SP. I never even heard of the store until this came out. Do you remember where you got her wallpaper from?

Yes, you're right, backing up everything is a must. I had the Phantom of the Arts (Opera) story going on a couple of years ago and lost everything. Yep i wanted to cry. So now I have a 500 Gig external back up drive.(very cheap) Love it. I do not write stories online, so I back my game up once a month.

You don't have to send me the Capps and Montys peeps.(thank you so much for the offer) When i get the courage to buy a new laptop, I'll start over and wont delete anything that comes with the game.

I love the H&M SP. It's easily my favourite one. The clothing is mostly pretty useable (with a few silly exceptions to make you laugh), and cc creators have combined the best parts to make a lot of really nice content too. I love how the clothing has actual volume, and isn't all skin-tight. That's a major selling point for me.

The first time I ever stepped inside an H&M was during a trip to Toronto last spring, and I picked up the H&M SP shortly after that, so I thought that was an interesting coincidence. I bought an awesome bright orange raincoat there - it has tiny umbrellas printed all over it.

Backing up is very important. I usually only do it when I add a new EP/SP, but I really should do it weekly. I have an external hard drive like that too, and it's very useful.

Okay, well the offer still stands if you change your mind. You're thinking of buying a new laptop? That's exciting.
